packlink SL?

Email arrives saying parcel will be delivered by packlink SL, "Never heard of them", I think.



The message looks scrappier than most delivery scams, but I know I *do* have an ebay delivery due, so I find the packlink website and enter the tracking number, it says it can't be found.



I copy the unclickable URL from the email and paste it, turns out to be a "DPD blue" delivery, I always seem to have "red" around here, presumably packlink is some sort of parcel aggregator, but 10 out of 10 for making themselves look dodgy ...

V common source of confusion on the ebay forums, non intuitive status messages.

Thanks for teh heads-up on the unclickable link.

You also have to ask them for invoices. I have used them a few times, but in recent months they seem to use Hermes exclusively, so that's now a no.

When they also used UPS (not sure), it wasn't difficult to provide the courier's own tracking ID and bypass the Packlink interface.
